Opiniones de Metacritic

Hotel de Love is a pleasant and sometimes funny film, without being completely satisfying.

Hotel de Love, the directing and screenwriting debut of Craig Rosenberg, is like a Valentine's Day box of heart-shaped chocolates that all have the same too-sweet cherry fillings.

It's glossy, dumb fun that is diverting enough but forgotten 20 minutes after it's over.

And, while it's not bad enough for me to suggest that it should have been left where it came from, this certainly isn't a shining example of Australian cinema.

Unfortunately, Hotel de Love also has all the originality of an all-purpose valentine. First- time filmmaker Craig Rosenberg appears to have seen every relationship movie ever made. To his credit, he borrowed only from the best.

Now and then the script reaches admirable heights of humor.

Some of it looks like a TV commercial, and the characters' motivations could have been generated by a computer, but the cast--Ray Barrett, Julia Blake, Simon Bossell, Saffron Burrows, Pippa Grandison, and Aden Young--is attractive and energetic.

Some of the gags seem a bit too labored, and by the time the rather charming ending unfolds, these weaker moments in Hotel de Love may force some viewers to check out early.

The young stars are attractive and capable, but Hotel de Love is as synthetic as an old "Love Boat" episode.

This is billed as a romantic comedy, but it's much more boring than funny.
